About this award

Armtec Countermeasures Co was awarded a $983,756 firm fixed-price delivery order on September 8, 2025, by Air Force Materiel Command to support the Impulse Cartridge Program for F-22 aircraft used in combat and training operations. The work will be performed in Coachella, California, with an ultimate completion date of September 7, 2026. This delivery order was issued under an existing indefinite delivery contract; the Impulse Cartridge Program provides cartridge-based systems critical to F-22 survivability and operational effectiveness. The contract includes subcontracting support from NTS Technical Systems LLC (doing business as Element U.S. Space & Defense), which will conduct first article environmental testing, and Essex Brownell Inc., which will supply Kapton material. No set-aside designation was used for this award, indicating open competition for the contract.

This award reflects the Air Force's ongoing investment in sustaining F-22 fleet readiness through procurement of specialized ordnance components from established defense suppliers. Armtec Countermeasures Co is a division of TransDigm Group Incorporated and maintains a robust portfolio of Air Force Materiel Command contracts, including a $250 million indefinite delivery contract for infrared countermeasure flares and a $49 million contract for chaff countermeasures. The subcontractor selections demonstrate the prime contractor's established supply chain relationships with specialized testing and materials vendors to support defense requirements.
